Golden Balls

The Brits had a fantastic night at the Golden Globes the other night, says filmlondon. Clive Owen won a best supporting actor for his role in Closer, and Ian McShane won TV Drama Actor award for his role in the Western drama Deadwood.

On top of that, Annete Bening won "Best actress in a musical/comedy" playing a British stage diva in Being Julia, and Geoffrey Rush won "Best Actor in a TV film" for his role in the British funded and produced The Life and Death of Peter Sellers biopic.

Mick Jagger, along with former Eurythmics man Dave Stewart, also picked up an award for best song from London remake Alfie.

But British hopefuls Kate Winslet and Imelda Staunton, who had lead actress nominations for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Vera Drake respectively, left empty handed. Let's hope they do better in the Oscars.
